WE STAND WITH TROIAN AND TYLER

Dear @katuriankaturiankaturian & @tylerjblackburn

I’m not usually the type of person to write fan-mail to celebrities, but for the cast of Pretty Little Liars, I’m more than willing to make an exception. Especially on this particular topic.

I’m not sure if any of you are aware, but there is a rather large and supportive fanbase of PLL on tumblr. Now we’ve all noticed that you both have been receiving quite an unreasonable amount of hate over Spaleb. I guess this letter is just to let you know from some fans that we still support you two no matter what your characters are going through.

Because that’s what Spencer and Caleb are - they’re two brilliant characters. And it does really anger us when people can’t differentiate between the two concepts of fiction and reality. I know it is a sign that your acting is realistic and brilliant if you can both make fans believe Spencer and Caleb are real, but it’s definitely not acceptable to send two actors hate over something the characters have done. And we’ve all had enough of seeing it.

I guess some of us, including myself, could go as far to say we support the characters relationship and could even want it to be endgame, despite the fact that the rest of the fandom are against us. You both have amazing chemistry with each other, you portray this relationship so beautifully that I’ve admired it throughout what has aired of 6b so far. On a personal level, I even loved Spencer and Caleb scenes from the earlier seasons (yes, I do even mean the cheeseburger breath moment) 

I know you’re also very aware that it is not all of the PLL fandom who hates Spaleb, but there are some messages of support from some of my friends who hate the hate as well:

@troianforever​ : I LOVE SPALEB! I’ve always been a massive spoby supporter but Spaleb is so realistic and so damn HOT! Troian and Tyler have amazing on and off screen chemistry so they work so well together! Their talent is phenomenal and they’re delivering the storyline so well. I am highly impressed with the level of professionalism they have presented regarding the hate for Spaleb as seeing this response obviously can’t be easy.. So proud! Xx

@teamspaleb : To Troian and Tyler just want to tell you i love you so much im so sorry about any negativity you are receiving you are handling it in a great way it just shows what the people are like, just know Spaleb fans love you so much we appreciate everything you do and think you are amazing people and actors. I love Spaleb so much they are the best rl on the show and i hope they end together. Love you so much always stay as awesome as you are.Love Soni xxxx

@wanheada​ : You’re an inspiration to a lot of people. Don’t listen to all the haters that are hating because of Spaleb. You both inspire a lot of people and deserve infinite happiness. We love you 

@miss–montgomery : I love their characters and they are amazing actors! Its awful, when people cant tell the difference between show and reality. And i hope this hate will end soon. I love Haleb and Spoby, but Spaleb is amazing because of Troian’s and Tyler’s acting. And all I want to say is thanks for your amazing job, guys! You are the best.

@liarsforlife18 : Dear Troian, you will never know how much you have made an impact on my life. I’ve learned to love myself for who I am because of you and will forever be grateful to you! That being said, it pains me to see all the hate you have received lately. You are such an incredible actress and woman, and I wish people would learn that you are and always will be Troian Avery Bellisario and NOT Spencer Jill Hastings! You only play her on tv, and have little to no control over what she does. So even if someone dislikes Spaleb, that does not make it ok to send hate to you because of it! I apologise on behalf of the PLL fandom and hope you know that someone out there loves you on and offscreen unconditionally. 

Dear Tyler, I hope whoever I marry one day is at least half as good looking and wonderful as you! I love how you love us fans genuinely and try to interact with people as much as you can. So it really upsets me that you have been getting so much hate over something the fictional character you play has done. Don’t get me wrong, Caleb feels like a real person to me because of the way you’ve brought him to life, but he’s not real. And neither is Spencer! So for people to get so upset over your character’s actions is ridiculous! Even if I hated Spaleb, I would never tell you that because it’s not your fault! You are only saying and doing what the writers tell you to! So keep on blocking out the haters and be proud of how well you play Caleb!    -   Love, Courtney

And can I just say there are so many more people who support you both so much that couldn’t send messages because they didn’t know how to put their love for you into words 

Please just know that we all love and admire you. Keep bringing the drama, passion and thrill to the series we’ve been hooked on for the past 6/7 years. You’re both brilliant. All of you are brilliant

Thank you for everything

Love Megan and the rest of the Pretty Little Liars community on Tumblr ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

No Regrets

(read on ao3)

A smile broke across Spencer’s face before she was even conscious enough to make the gesture, as if it couldn’t be contained. Her eyes fluttered open slowly, and she was thankful for the drawn curtains, keeping the brunt of the morning sun’s brightness from blinding her. She felt a featherlight caress against her back, fingertips tracing along the lines of her shoulder blades. The touch caused tingles to run down her spine, down to her toes. Tingles that burst out of her skin in the form of goosebumps.

Her smile widened and she turned over to see Caleb wearing bright smile of his own, eyes sparkling and faint crinkles appearing at their corners.

“Hey,” he murmured.

“Hey,” Spencer replied.

They stared at each other for a moment, quiet, before letting out a simultaneous laugh. It wasn’t that there was anything funny in particular. It was just something people did to feel the silence when they didn’t have the words to express themselves. Something people did when they were happy.

Happy.

It's almost airtime!!!

That means it’s time to gather all my #SpalebNetwork babes for another “scheduled” chat event. I’m currently babysitting a baby so I’ll be in and out, but I wanted to open up the invitation to everyone.

Win Me Over

Summary: Spencer and Caleb meet in Washington for the first time.

The glassy doors of one of the most imposing skyscrapers in the city slid with a light swoosh and welcomed Caleb with a greeting of some heavenly heat, brightening the shade of red on his cheeks due to the freezing cold of that Friday evening. Winter was starting to settle in for good in Washington and the light snow that began decorating the rooftops shyly since early noon, even though it kept falling in nano-flakes, turned the usual downtown traffic into a mess of angry horns and infuriated drivers, making efficient public commute a really tricky situation. Long story short, Caleb was seconds away from a pounding migraine, the loud folklore music that busted through the cassette player of the taxi that drove him to his destination not helping at all with his disturbed mental state.

It pisses me off that they're writing Spaleb so well and like they're meant to be together (they have feelings for each other, it wasn't just an one night stand) because I know at some point they are going to break them up and it will completely contradict the story and Spoby and Haleb will be a joke.

THIS. If they aren’t going to be a long-term thing, why are they writing them so well? Why give them the build up and an actual history? If it’s all for the sake of drama, why not have it just be a fling? AND the fact that it’s not an immediate source of drama (just some awkward tension) makes me think that… Maybe it ISN’T just a plot device to get the others back together?

But then, I have no faith in show runners in regards to ships because I’ve never had any of the couples I liked actually end up together lmao. So for that reason alone I’m sure Spaleb is doomed.

[spalebnetwork]

So... Why not continue to build 3 new, fresh, healthy relationships instead of ruining 3 relationships and having 2 toxic relationships? Because Spaleb, Jordanna, Toby + Yvonne will be over, but Haleb and Spoby will be just as compromised - there's no coming back from this.

This.

The First Cup Of Coffee

Summary: Four times that Spencer gets the first cup of coffee in the morning and a fifth that she realizes she wants Caleb to have that privilege. 

(Okay, I think this turned out huge but I have so many feels for them and when I start writing them I want to write a frigging trilogy of their life together so yeah! xD I really hope you like it!!)

He wakes up with bright rays warming his profile and birds tweeting away in a lively chorus. It takes a second for his eyes to shred their heaviness and his mind to abandon dream world but when that’s done, it all comes crashing down on him; new texts, new mysteries, new A or whatever the hell the person that started tormenting them this time would like to be called. His frowned focus on the ceiling is disturbed by a stirring movement on his side and he titles his head to watch her, chocolate locks frizzy and sprawled across her pillow and his arm, as her head lays on the inside of his elbow, sleepy pouty lips tickling his soft skin with every even breath she takes. Her eyes are fluttering and he hopes her dream is nothing like her reality, leaning down to place a feather light kiss on her temple and then the corner of her lips, trying to reassure her that whatever happens he is in this too, always with her, and he won’t stop fighting whatever psycho is haunting her until she won’t need to dream the life she wished she had.

Caleb moves to sit up and she mewls softly, her slender fingers running up his shoulder to anchor herself on him as she slides like a cherish cat to his side, him smiling lovingly at the gesture and there is a heavy feeling in his chest, something that makes him want to sigh in nervous excitement. He gives her one more kiss, a longer one, on the top of her hair, and takes a rich doze of her neutral airy scent before untangling her from him as gently as possible and getting off the bed; now their bed. He sees her curling his pillow to her chest and smiles again, that lovesick smile that he always made fun of, that he always believed his lips would never form in his entire life and he walks lazily to the small kitchen, turning on the coffee machine to brew some of her favorite beverage.

It takes only three minutes for the room to fill with the warm aroma as the pot is filled with coffee and as if she senses it, and he is pretty damn sure she does, he hears her patting lightly to his direction before he feels a kiss between his shoulder blades, light but sensual enough to make a shiver run down his spine. He turns with a smirk and fists the cotton material of his favorite jumper on her hips, one more reason to make him smile like an idiot, and they kiss good morning, ignoring bad breaths and whatnot because everything felt comfortable with them, simple, easy.

“We’re falling into a morning routine, aren’t we?” Spencer smirks playfully, face inches away from his smiley one and arms laced behind his neck, as he leans back at the counter and closes his at the small of her waist, kissing her more.
